Arod needs to be toast for the year. No ifs ands or buts. He shouldn't play in 2013.
The Yankees need to escape this contract and now is the perfect time.
Let him spend the entire season on the DL, recover from his surgery properly, and go elsewhere.
The Yankees will receive 100% of the money owed to Arod back and can finally move on.

The Yankees could potentially be covered by insurance for at least 70 and up to 100 percent of his contract if he’s injured and can’t play. There are two major catches here.

The other is that even if the Yankees were to collect even the full $114 million he’s owed that money would still count against the luxury tax. -BronxBaseballDaily
